(Opera. The Life of Luo Shan)
Sir, it's a new play titled, "The Life of Luo Shan."
It's about a motherless child who brings his father to court.
A life of drifting with emotional entanglement.
A father and son relationship that is hard to sever.
Please, come inside.
(Opera. The Life of Luo Shan)
Please head inside.
Keep a close watch
on the woman with the fox mask.
- Yes. - Yes.
So, how does the story unfold?
The entire family
was killed by the bandit, Xu Neng.
Xu Neng
is my father's name.
Could my father really...?
Outrageous!
Good!
The play is excellent.
But sadly, the son discovers that his father is not only a bandit
but might also be the one who killed his mother.
It seems like this is a tragedy.
Sir, please enjoy and see how it unfolds.
But not necessarily.
People love to watch plays
because they always end the play
with a reunion
no matter how deep the grudges.
Life, on the other hand, is harder than that.
Happiness finds company, sorrow finds none.
If you don't believe it,
why not watch and see
if the ending is tragic or joyful?
Sure.
With the screen removed and accompanied by the candlelight and gentle breeze,
it will be much more spacious.
Waiter!
Remove this screen.
I'll move it right away.
(Exquisite Melodies)
Wonderful!
How strange.
It's neither a tragedy nor a happy ending.
Is the play unfinished?
The son is an official, and the father is a bandit.
Family and justice
become two uncompromising sides.
The ending is naturally hard to write.
If the second half showed
a son trying his father in court,
wouldn't that be shocking?
Do you think a son shouldn't try his father?
Should family always come before justice?
I meant
there's nothing wrong with shocking the world.
Filial piety may be the greatest virtue.
But loyalty to the country comes first when you're an official.
The question
is whether he wants to be a good son
or a good official.
There's no way to be both.
Whichever way he chooses, it's bound to end in tragedy.
The main character is a tragic figure.
(I think he is heartbroken)
(because he is also struggling between family and justice.)
How would you write it?
In court, try the cases as you should.
At home, you're a son again.
Put aside all the talk of big principles
and just softly coax him.
If that doesn't work,
you can just kneel on a washboard.
That would turn it into a comedy, then.
Dear audience, you are in luck!
To celebrate the festive season,
I've prepared
a guessing game and a little gift
to entertain you all.
=Blossom=
(Adapted from the novel "Blossom" by Zhi Zhi)
=Episode 4=
All the items used in the game are from the tavern.
The performers' acts will serve as hints.
Everyone here can guess.
The one with the most correct answers wins.
Let's begin with the first question.
In the city, the battle horses roam.
Each year, the land is filled with corpses and crows' cries.
Battle horses?
That is too small for them.
It's "The Blossom."
Ni Heng beats the drum and insults Cao Cao.
It's a drumstick.
Correct!
Great answer!
I'm surprised you know about historical weapons.
Could you be a man dressing as a woman?
Well, women can be as capable as men.
Let's move to the second question.
These are hairpins and skirts,
standing tall to hold up the sky.
What's this talk of a man's role?
Hua Mulan joined the army in place of her father.
She removed her makeup and disguised herself as a man.
The object in the box is a rouge used by female performers.
Correct!
Impressive!
You seem quite familiar with women's products.
Could it be you often frequent such places?
In books, there are beauties like Yan Ruyu.
If I must say, why don't you two go home and compete?
It's meaningless to argue here.
- Don't you all agree? - Leave now.
- That's right. - Go home.
That would be boring.
Competing is the fun part.
That's right.
If I just admit defeat,
it's not worth being a man at all.
Is there a third question?
That's right.
Is there a third riddle?
Here comes the third riddle.
The song of Chu brings sorrow
with tears filling the eyes.
The Battle of Gaixia, surrounded by Chu's soldiers.
- The Chu army missed home. - The Chu army...
Those who miss home want to return home.
The item is Angelica Root,
a dish in the tavern.
Correct!
Excellent!
Miss, you won this round.
We both answered together.
But I was quicker.
Thank you for yielding.
The words you spoke so easily
were a luxury I could not even dream of.
I admit my defeat.
What do you think this person is thinking?
He's upset and does not accept his defeat.
He's thinking about his family
and the hometown he hasn't returned to for a long time.
Congratulations, miss.
Thank you.
Twenty-Four Stories of Filial Piety.
It's a pity
I can no longer use this.
Mister!
Mister,
Young Lady sent me to give you this.
(Allow me to be bold enough to guess what's on your mind.)
(I wonder if I am right.)
(You are well-versed in knowledge)
(with unmatched talents.)
(But you're defeated by family problems.)
(If your family is still around,)
(why not compromise and give it a try?)
(Like doing something that brings joy to your parents.)
♪I rise on tiptoes♪
♪To kiss your brow♪
♪From now on, my heart needs no disguise♪
♪Wrapped in frost and snow♪
(Behind the mask and the role play,)
(she is surprisingly insightful and sharp.)
♪I hold onto this love for the world to see♪
Your Lordship, the Marshal urgently requests your return.
The storm is approaching Futing
and we need to return and provide help.
A fragrance ball?
It's a woman's item.
Did Your Lordship just...
Don't make any wild guesses.
I was at the theater to watch a play.
It might have gotten caught when I was passing by other audiences.
You left the army quietly this time.
So it's best not to expose your whereabouts.
You should discard it.
If a woman's personal belongings
fall into the wrong hands, won't that cause trouble?
I will return it to her if I see her again.
By the way,
deliver this lantern to my father.
Let's meet at the post station in an hour.
Scented sachets, charms, and little trinkets for sale!
Sugar-coated hawthorn for sale!
Once I finish my business at dawn, I'll bring her back.
You all should leave and lay low for now.
- Yes. - Leave now.
Pang Kunbai?
What are you trying to do?
What do you think?
I'm obviously going to show you some affection.
How did you...
All... All of you...
Let me enjoy
your affection, then.
Get him!
Stop it.
Stop hitting me.
Spare me!
Who knew stargazing would lead to such a drama.
Interesting, indeed.
Miss, spare us.
We were only doing our part for the money.
You use your skills to bully women and ruin their reputations
instead of putting your skills to good use.
Killing you wouldn't be unjust.
Fourth Young Lady Dou, it's all a misunderstanding.
Those scoundrels knocked me out and brought me here!
I don't know anything.
Stop! I'll take responsibility for you!
I'll marry you with all the proper ceremonies
and make sure no one criticizes you.
Just keep your mouth shut.
At the family banquet,
I saw you exchanged looks with Wang Yingxue.
I knew it wasn't a simple banquet.
So I sent someone to investigate your background.
You're a nephew of the Wang Family.
You're scheming on using nonsense
about what gossip can do to one's reputation.
Did you think Young Lady would suffer in silence?
You're coveting her hard-earned savings from over ten years
to become part of her dowry
so it can fill your family's pockets!
I want to see what happens when this matter reaches the court.
Is it me afraid of being schemed against,
or your Wang Family afraid of having your reputation ruined?
Take him away.
Get lost.
Little Zhuang Zhou,
it seems Grandmother has taken good care of you.
This was a storybook left behind by a carefree hermit.
He said it's for someone with fate.
It seems
you're that Little Zhuang Zhou he meant.
Yuantong?
Is it really you?
Why are you here?
Since you're one of us,
why did you let Pang Kunbai go?
Are you putting an act for me?
Aunt!
Aunt!
Look at you.
Aunt, we're done for.
What happened to you?
You're a grown man helped by a group of people.
How did a young girl put you in such a sorry state?
Aunt,
she was already prepared for this.
We have been played.
You're so useless.
Madam! Madam, we have trouble.
Fourth Young Lady has arrived with the guards.
Head to the side room quickly.
Go and hide there now.
Madam,
is everything all right here?
I was robbed while I was enjoying the Lantern Festival.
I even followed Officer Wang from the yamen to chase him all the way here.
But I realized that this is our house.
This is the Dou's Residence, you know.
The outlaws wouldn't dare to enter.
What nonsense.
Let me go!
- Let me go! - Officer Wang,
he is right here.
You...
How dare you.
These two are from the same household.
Who's this troublemaker barking here?
Greetings, Madam Wang.
My name is Ji Yong,
a distant relative of Old Madam Cui.
I lodged the report.
Mr. Ji is the top scholar in the provincial exam.
Arrest him!
Let me go!
Aunt! Aunt!
Aunt, help me!
Aunt!
Madam,
betrayal from one's family truly hurts.
He even said this was your idea.
You...
This is a serious matter.
I'll go and get Fifth Master and Seventh Master
to go to the government office together.
We can sort out any misunderstandings there.
No! This is...
Fifth Master and Seventh Master are already asleep.
Let's not trouble the both of them.
Your acting was very convincing.
If you went straight to report this to the authorities,
they wouldn't dare act
against the Wang Family or the Dou Family's influence.
But catching them red-handed is a different matter.
Wang Yingxue will have
a hard time explaining this to Father
and the Wang Family.
Absurd!
Absolutely ridiculous!
He's only a distant nephew.
You'd rather believe him than me?
Kidnapping is such a serious crime.
How dare he falsely accuse me of it?
Your own nephew turned around and accused you.
How could that be fake?
I just don't understand.
You used to be kind and patient.
What happened to you?
My dear,
is it me who's changed, or is it you?
No matter how others mocked me before,
you would always love and protect me.
But somewhere along the way,
our relationship was no longer the same.
We become a married couple in the name.
Ever since we sleep in separate rooms,
you've decided that I'm the bad person.
You would blame me
whenever anything bad happens to Dou Zhao.
I'm just stating facts.
Stop bringing up unrelated matters.
It's not unrelated.
I know you can't let go of Guqiu's death.
So you let me take that fall!
Sixteen years have passed.
Has Dou Zhao ever fulfilled her duties as a daughter?
But as for me,
I've given everything I have to the Dou Family,
both at home and in the court.
What else do you want from me?
Why don't you just divorce me already?
Yingxue. Yingxue!
That's not what I meant.
But Ms. Longevity did suffer from the incident.
Father.
Mother.
Zhao has prepared a carriage
and is ready to leave soon.
Ming,
your mother's eyes are irritated by pollen.
Help her wipe them.
Yes, Father.
You devoted yourself to this family.
Father knows that.
I know.
But he still favors Dou Zhao.
If I didn't make a scene just now,
how else could I remove the thorn?
Father wants harmony in the family.
Why not show some generosity
and make peace with Zhao and Grandmother?
I'm the matron of this house!
Why should I humble myself to them?
Are you out of your mind?
As long as she stays unmarried,
you can't discuss your marriage.
Her wealth
should be part of your dowry.
I don't care
about the amount of my dowry
or when my wedding happens.
You fool!
I've never given the Dou Family a son.
So I'm forced to play the bad person
and fight for everything.
But I never imagined
you grew up to be such a spineless child.
I don't even know why
I've been fighting all this time.
If I'd known this,
I would never have
let someone else raise you.
Mother,
I know I've let you down.
But I don't want you
to risk so much for my sake.
Lending money at interest is strictly forbidden by the court.
All these years,
you've been dealing with the cutthroat Cangbei Gang...
Quiet!
How dare you speak
of such things?
Cry?
Is crying all you know?
Crying is useless.
I know.
But I can't control my tears.
I'm useless.
Ming,
you must listen to everything I say
since you admit crying is useless.
Remember this.
Your dowry, family background, and reputation
all affect your future marriage.
If I don't fight for it,
you'll live
in constant fear and uncertainty in the future.
You can't even control your emotions.
Let alone the hardships of being a wife.
How can you endure all that?
Ms. Longevity.
Ms. Longevity,
I failed to protect you.
It is all my fault.
I will definitely make it up to you.
It's not your fault, Father.
I should never have expected anything in the first place.
All done.
Peony fillet, a famous Sichuan dish.
This Peony fillet is so complicated to make
It's hard to find something like this in the restaurants of the capital.
Ms. Longevity, who taught you how to make it?
Then I'll try a bite first.
Zhangru,
I made this for Ji Jianming.
It's not proper if you eat it first.
Fine.
I wonder if he eats spicy food.
I also made deep-fried potato shrimp for him.
Zhangru, why are you...
Su, what have you been doing over there
all day?
I made a sweet dish
for good luck,
called Hidden Treasures.
It looks good.
I don't know what Ji is thinking.
The capital has many tasty food and fun.
Why would he choose to live in this remote manor?
By the way,
how did you two know each other?
I first met him when I was still a child.
We met at Wanfo Temple.
Your health is in such poor condition.
You might as well go to heaven instead of coming back to the village.
(Records of the Enlightened Age) Leave now.
Misfortune can lead to something good and they are connected.
We're counting on both of you to change the secret of heaven.
Ji looks like a celestial being
It's a waste for him to be a monk.
I wonder if he's open about being a matrilocal husband.
Zhao,
how far have you two progressed?
I haven't seen him in ages.
Then why are you still making Peony fillet for him?
I've never even tried it before.
- Me too. - I'll make it for you next time.
Fourth Young Lady,
Old Madam's migraines are acting up again.
Mister,
how's Grandmother now?
Her migraine has built up over time because of emotional stress.
It can't be rushed.
Just follow the remedy I gave
and recuperate slowly.
- Thank you, mister. - I shall make a move now.
You're a quack!
- Who are you calling a quack? - The one who answers.
- You... - You're a quack, quack, quack.
I won't argue with a young brat like you.
I'm leaving!
If you follow
that quack advice to treat her,
even a god couldn't save her.
Don't talk about bad luck.
What?
Will kind words heal her?
Take off her clothes.
You can save her, right?
The root of the illness is blocked energy.
It's stuck at certain pressure points.
One is above the navel, and the other is on the foot.
You'll need to remove her clothes and use acupuncture.
Since she's a woman,
maybe we should find a female physician?
But female physicians are rare.
Grandmother won't eat or drink.
We cannot afford to wait anymore.
Grandmother.
Everyone has their fate.
Perhaps my time is ending.
I just don't understand.
It's a treatable illness, but she refuses to be treated.
If everything is about rules and propriety,
what do we need physicians for?
Old Madam,
isn't your life
more important than those useless rules?
Grandmother,
a physician doesn't discriminate genders.
Everyone is patient in their eyes.
I don't want to lose a loved one because of these traditions.
Please,
just try it for me.
Please, Grandmother.
Ms. Longevity!
Ms. Longevity!
Grandmother finally took the medicine.
I'll go and get her some plain congee.
All right.
Avoid meat and inflammatory foods for the next few days.
All right.
Thank you very much.
It's a small matter.
Thank you.
Grandmother finally fell asleep.
Just because she's stable now doesn't mean it'll last.
Her health is affected
by all the worries she's been holding inside.
If the root cause isn't addressed, she won't live long.
Grandmother has a heavy burden in her heart.
She doesn't want to talk about it.
So I don't know how to help.
If she doesn't want to resolve it, that's her choice.
Everyone has to face death eventually.
Just stay by her side and support her.
Did you glare at me
because you think I'm heartless
and cruel?
I just don't understand
why you treat life and death so lightly.
My father said I was born without the ability to feel,
that I have little emotion.
I've never shed a single tear since I was a child.
When I was four, he fell seriously ill.
So he gave me this telescope.
He said he would become a star.
So I would gaze at the stars every night,
memorizing astronomy and the calendar system.
But deep down,
I knew I would never find him
because a person will turn to dust when they die.
Everyone dies.
Life leads to death,
and death marks the beginning of life's cycle.
That's right.
What matters is how we live.
Little Zhuang Zhou, how do you want to live your life?
I didn't think too much of it.
To live a full life
is rare enough.
(It's a luxury)
(for a person to live it well.)
If you still have the strength, help those around you.
That would be enough.
Are you content with such a small wish?
So, have you decided not to become a Buddhist monk?
I was sent to the temple because I was weak when I was young.
There, I learned medicine from the head monk.
A small physician heals the body from illness.
A great physician heals the nation.
It would be interesting to hold the position
of the Grand Secretary.
I've looked into the history
of the Grand Secretary over the past three hundred years.
It takes decades of promotion and hard work.
It'll take at least fifty years to reach the second rank.
That takes too long.
So it's not worth it.
I need to find another way.
There's no shortcut to becoming the Grand Secretary.
Unless you become a dishonest or a traitorous official.
That could work, too.
It's more interesting talking to you.
When I return to the capital after taking the imperial exam,
we can discuss it further.
Before you go to the capital, I have one request.
I want to learn medicine from you.
Even though people will always have to part,
I want to make
our time together last as long as possible.
(Official Record of Medicine)
Not bad.
Ji and Ms. Longevity meet secretly every day.
So they must have feelings for each other now.
Do you want to bet on it?
Bring it on.
A chicken and a duck.
Such a perfect match.
Let's begin.
You did well dissecting the chicken today.
But we should try it on a human body.
Let's go to the mass grave tonight.
All right.
How do you date at a mass grave?
I lost.
Ji Yong! Ji Yong, get up.
Ji Yong. Ji Yong.
Originally, I brought Ji Jianming to the manor
as a potential prospect for Ms. Longevity.
You're really wise.
They look perfectly matched.
One lacks emotion and the other one is indifferent.
It's indeed a good match.
But too bad, they have no feelings for each other
and are not fated to be together.
Remember to review the medical classics.
If you fall behind in your progress when I return,
you will be punished with acupuncture.
All right.
But if you fail the exam, you'll also get the same punishment.
But it's too easy not to fail the exam.
If I don't top the exam, you can prick me however you want.
As for the nation's illness,
I've already checked the pulse and made the diagnosis.
I've heard the higher the position, the harder it is to retire.
Becoming a famous official isn't necessarily interesting.
Corrupt officials are just a symptom.
The real problem lies in the system.
If we clean it up from the top down,
we could save a fortune.
Then the country's landscape could be transformed.
Time for me to go now.
(He's talented and ambitious.)
(But why did he become a monk)
(in the dream?)
Oh, merciful Buddha.
(Ji Yong, Prodigious Monk) (The scholar respects)
(Ji Yong, Prodigious Monk) (the younger generation.)
(Who dares to challenge Confucius in counting the stars?)
(Deal loyalty, treachery, gratitude, and resentment lightly with a smile.)
(A perfect harmony between nature and spirit.)
(Futing)
Patience, everyone will have some.
Bring more congee.
We can't keep up already. Hurry up.
♪The Grand Tutor tells me the cause and reason♪
Duke of Ding is in Futing helping with the disaster relief.
The government has run out of grain.
We shouldn't go out drinking these days.
What's there to be scared of?
No, Song Mo is like a living King of Hell.
I've heard once he targets someone for questioning,
- Did you take the money? - (he always finds the evidence.)
No... No, I did not.
Whether they're royals, rich merchants, or high-ranking officials,
he investigates them all.
Song Mo, how dare you raid the Tang Family.
Do you know who's my older brother?
Do... Do you know who I am?
The eight magnates of the Tang Family dominate the salt trade,
mining, and water transport in Futing.
The entire Tang Family
won't let you off!
Who else?
How dare you!
Focus on your performance.
How dare a mere performer like you step on a guest's table?
(Ding)
Ding Army?
General Song.
- General Song. - General Song.
General Song, spare us.
General Song, have mercy.
I'll share half of the money with you.
Please let me go.
Sure.
I'll let you keep half of your limbs and organs.
General, please check.
All the funds we embezzled are here.
This is enough to keep your corpse whole.
If you do not wish to die,
tell me where you store the grain reserves.
Duke of Ding, please reconsider carefully.
The emperor decreed the crown prince to manage the relief.
While your intentions are good,
I cannot say anything
against the emperor's decree.
Eunuch Ding,
tens of thousands of people are in danger.
We can't wait
for the royal family to come from miles away to put up a show.
Do they know how many people die from hunger every day?
I've already opened the treasury and started the relief myself.
- Duke! - Reply according to my words!
I will take the responsibility if anything happens.
Marshal!
Deputy Marshal Song bought grain from a neighboring county
with the confiscated bribe money
and sent it to the congee stall.
Well done, lad.
(Twilight in Spring)
I need to go and take a look.
Old Madam.
- Let me check it out. I'll be fine. - You can't, Old Madam.
- It's pouring heavily. You can't go. - The rain is so heavy.
Grandmother.
- Ms. Longevity. - You're just starting to recover.
You can't be out in the rain.
- Quickly. - I'm too restless to stay put.
It's raining so hard.
We've prepared the grain.
- We've fixed the foundation and roof. - Hurry! Keep up!
But how can the structure withstand such heavy rain?
These simple thatched houses will definitely collapse.
Those tenants will be left homeless without food.
Grandmother, don't worry.
- I'm preparing to repair the canal - Hurry.
with the tenants and craftsmen and send out the grain.
We'll make sure the villagers are all right.
So stay here and distribute the grains without worries.
Ms. Tuo, keep Grandmother company and give the instructions together
and I'll take care of the rest.
- But... - Fourth Young Lady, don't worry.
Ms. Longevity, you must be careful.
I'll be careful so don't worry.
Remember to be careful.
Wait your turn, no pushing.
No pushing! Back up!
- Line up! - There's enough for everyone!
(Corruption and Abuse of Power)
Take turns! One at a time!
Don't drop it.
Next one.
Don't push. Everyone will have some.
One at a time!
I was here first. Give it to me!
Mister,
why is this hairpin made of white stone?
Doesn't it feel heavy with the stone on his head?
Look.
It's no longer heavy once we take it off.
No matter what it is made,
you can exchange this for 30 jin of rice.
Then you and your parents won't go hungry anymore.
Take it.
Thank you, mister.
The grain cart is here!
- The grain cart is here! - The grain cart is here!
Be careful!
- Hurry! - Watch it!
Watch out!
- Young Lady. - Are you all right, Young Lady?
- Sir! - Mister!
- Deputy Marshal! - Sir! Sir!
- Sir! - Sir! Sir!
- Sir! Sir! - Mister!
Who are you?
Why are you here?
How come it's you?
We haven't met.
So you cannot die.
He's awake.
- He's finally awake. - He's up.
He's up.
Luckily, you've awaken.
I'll let Marshal know.
Sir.
Three days ago, you suffered a head injury from a hard object.
We've tried medicine, herbal concoction, and acupuncture.
But you wouldn't wake up.
Fortunately, the Marshal saw this item and lit it.
It had miraculous effects.
Sir, what kind of fragrance is this?
Benzoin.
They say Emperor Xuanzong couldn't sleep after Imperial Consort Yang's demise.
His mind was in a state of confusion
and he could only fall asleep with this fragrance
so he could dream of her.
Oh, I get it now.
Deputy Marshal dreamt of his sweetheart.
Can you keep quiet?
She saved my life.
Where's Marshal?
Marshal stayed by your bed the whole night.
Before dawn,
he left to inspect the newly repaired dikes.
The weather this year is truly strange.
Many places have been hit by heavy rains.
Even the Tianjin sentry and Zhending suffered too.
(Zhending.)
Here, it's not that hot anymore.
There are more if you still want some.

(Half a Month Later)
I apologize for disturbing you so late.
My surname is Mei and a merchant from the south.
We're passing through this area and need a place to stay for the night.
Young Lady, you're up.
What's the hour now?
Just past three-quarters after the Yin hour.
Young Lady,
a group of merchants arrived at the manor.
The leader calls himself, Mr. Mei.
But I noticed everyone in the group walks quietly,
with calloused palms.
Mr. Chen has sent people here multiple times,
asking if you've woken up.
Bring Mr. Chen here.
They have surrounded the manor
and planned to wipe us out.
A hostage is your way to make a deal that satisfies both sides.
Whether it will be a massacre or making a deal,
is up to you to decide.
Fourth Young Lady, you've been living far from the court.
How would you know so much about the Duke of Ding case?
